We are witnessing the end of an era--an era where doctors and nurses had to deliver care without knowing a patient's medical history, other than what patients might recall, what family members might have noted, or what individual medical records might contain.

This transformation has been slow, at times painful, occasionally dramatic, unfortunately traumatic to some, and not universally supported. This documentary follows the journey of pioneers who have shepherded us into this era, and provides a glimpse into the lives of patients, healthcare providers and advocates and adversaries from the public and private sectors.
